The emulated SheepShaver console and DOSBox pod now exchange the live
console protocol on TCP 1501. Required chain: rebuild the DOSBox pcap
backend + launch with C:\Windows\System32\Npcap on PATH (npcap DLL
location); a two-TAP Windows bridge (single shared TAP fails); TAP2
MediaStatus=Always-Connected; and binding the pod's pcap to the BRIDGE
MINIPORT (not a member TAP -- member-injected frames aren't re-forwarded),
via realnic=DB5521D (letter-leading GUID fragment; leading-digit is parsed
as an interface index). Captured + decoded the real protocol values
(StateResponse clientID=5/flags=1/host=0/state=1/app=1=BattleTech), which
corrects the earlier synthetic guesses. Full writeup in NET-NOTES.md.
